Fall 2023 - Prof. Soroosh is a rare breed of thoughtful, engaging, and understanding. His passion for his academics is unwavering and appallingly clear. Though I'd never consider a degree in any STEM field, Soroosh had me on the edge of my seat while learning about immunology and bodily systems. He has the unique ability to turn otherwise dull subjects into compelling eloquence. He's an incredible lecturer and honestly deserves more recognition.

Fall 2024 - Overall, I do not recommend taking this class unless it is required for your major and/or your grad school. The content is interesting and manageable. My main issue is the grading since 90% of your grade is based on exams. The questions on the exams are specific and you'll feel good about answering them yet Soroosh's very particular rubric is a GPA killer. Fail to mention one thing on his rubric? Well you'll get marked half off. The TAs are ruthless with grading. As someone else mentioned, most people thought they did well on the exams and felt blind-sighted with the rubric. You can write the same thing as someone else just worded differently and the TAs will grade very very different. Super subjective grading. Not worth your time.

Fall 2023 - Dr. Soroosh is an amazing teacher! He is super down to earth and funny, and he genuinely cares about his students. He is a great professor because he is passionate about research and the MIMG department in general. I had him for 180A and B and loved my experience. He helped me a lot with my public speaking by giving knowledgeable insight and making class a safe place to make mistakes and learn to be better. He also teaches MIMG101 and is gonna teach LS7C in the future so I highly recommend him! If you want to be his favorite, mention how much you love Coldplay or the Golden State Warriors.
